Barrow recounts the unforgettable 2019 Masters and Tiger Woods’ emotional triumph through the eyes of a producer who knew exactly when to let the moment speak for itself.

In this first episode of our three-part conversation with 1985 U.S. Women’s Open Champion Kathy Guadagnino (Baker), we tee off with a delightful surprise—singing happy birthday to Kathy on the very day of our interview. What follows is a heartfelt and revealing look at the early chapters of a champion’s life. Born in Albany, New York, Kathy reflects on her childhood split between upstate New York and Florida, where her father’s love of golf first planted the seeds of her future in the game. She shares colorful memories of backyard putting contests, nickel wagers to hit past a tree, and the backyard bunker that shaped her early skills. Listeners will hear how her father’s gentle persistence and passion for sports—not to mention his role as CEO of a swimming pool company—steered Kathy toward golf. Kathy recounts the story of her reluctant but steady climb into competitive golf, from family vacations to her first state tournament, where she surprised even herself with a runner-up finish. She candidly discusses the challenges of being a latecomer to the game and the pivotal role her father played in recognizing and nurturing her talent. We follow her rise through amateur golf—state wins, national events, and early U.S. Women’s Open experiences—culminating in her time at the University of Tulsa. Along the way, Kathy reflects on her early struggles with match play, her mixed emotions about golf during her teen years, and the faith that would eventually reshape her purpose and passion for the game. From Ferris wheels to fairways, this episode offers a unique glimpse into the formative years of a major champion whose journey was anything but conventional.

With raw honesty and captivating detail, Lauri takes us through the rollercoaster of self-doubt, resilience, and unlikely triumph that defined her historic victory. Coming off a missed cut the week prior and wrestling with confidence issues, Lauri describes how a simple shopping trip and a bronze sculpture became her quiet source of inspiration heading into the championship. From early nerves and pep talks from her caddie, Tom Hanson, to clutch birdies and gritty par saves, she walks us through each turning point with vivid recollections—including a dramatic chip-in, a critical bogey save on 11, and her birdie at 16 that sent goosebumps through the gallery. You’ll hear how Lauri navigated the pressure, a weather-delayed final round, and the tension of watching challengers like Donna Andrews and Helen Alfredsson fall just short. She reflects on her mindset, her putting drills that paid off at just the right moment, and the joy—and shock—of hearing the final roar when the final challenger's putt missed the mark. With her trademark humor and humility, Lauri also shares heartfelt moments about her parents, her mixed feelings about a controversial Sports Illustrated article, and her plans to finally share some cherished memorabilia with the USGA.

Lauri shares her early experiences playing in professional events as a teenager, including a memorable LPGA event at Sun City with her father on the bag and her stunning 67 that made her an overnight leader. From those formative moments, we follow her journey through Q-School heartbreak, international pro-ams in Japan, and the financial support that made chasing her dream possible. Lauri opens up about the pressure-packed nature of LPGA qualifying and the unlikely first win that came in 1983 at the Rail Charity Classic in Springfield, Illinois—where advice from her father, an eagle on 13, and a prayerful putting green moment all played a part in her emotional triumph. She also recounts her second LPGA win in 1984 at the inaugural Jamie Farr Toledo Classic, where she outdueled none other than Nancy Lopez on the final day—on her birthday, no less! With vivid stories involving Pat Bradley, Charles Barkley, and iconic tour stops, Lauri gives listeners a candid and heartfelt look at life on the LPGA Tour during its golden era.

In this first installment of our four-part conversation with 1993 U.S. Women’s Open Champion Lauri Merten, we journey back to where it all began. A self-proclaimed “cheesehead” born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Lauri shares her early memories of snowy winters, fried cheese curds, and a childhood move to Arizona that would unknowingly set her on the path to major championship glory. Lauri opens up about a childhood shaped not by early athletic success, but by determination, resilience, and a tight-knit family. With heartfelt humor and humility, she recalls her initial forays into sports — including a memorable knee injury during a failed long jump attempt — and how golf became her sanctuary. A set of hand-me-down Patty Berg clubs and a desire to spend time with her father sparked a love for the game that would carry her to the top of women’s golf. Listeners will hear about the summer golf school that transformed Lauri’s outlook, the strict (but loving) influence of her father, and how her shorter left leg created challenges — and ultimately forged a gritty, repeatable game that made her the “Trash Queen” on tour, getting up-and-down from everywhere. Lauri’s authenticity shines as she reflects on meeting Bob and Dolores Hope, playing in celebrity pro-ams, and the powerful women who helped pave her way in the game. Her voice adds an intimate touch to a story that is both deeply personal and inspiring.

Martha Nause relates the story of her finish at the LPGA Sun-Times Shoot-Out in 1991 going birdie, birdie, birdie, eagle to win, but tragically followed months later by the passing of her mother. Martha felt that the stress caused by her sudden loss brought on a rare condition that affected her balance and made if difficult to compete for over a year. With the help of a mental coach she came back with a flourish, winning the 1994 du Maurier Classic by 1 over Michelle McGann, shooting an opening round course-record 65. This comeback of sorts earned her the 1996 Heather Farr Player Award. Martha went on to play the LPGA Legends Tour and was their leading money winner in 2006. She also coached college golf for the men's and women's teams at Macalester College and was inducted into the Wisconsin Golf Hall of Fame in 1995.

Major Championship winner, Martha Nause, takes us back to growing up in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, learning the game with her four siblings under the watchful eyes of her parents at their local country club. With no high school or college golf team (until her senior year), Martha's game developed as a family summer endeavor, learning how to compete and win (or lose) with grace from her mother. With the great Manuel de la Torre as her coach, she quickly turned her summertime passion into her life's work, turning professional at age 23 and qualifying in her first attempt for the LPGA Tour. Success came slowly, first by making a few cuts and small checks. Ten years of hard work and developing her self-confidence, Martha finally broke through for win #1 at the Planters Pat Bradley International.

We wrap up our visit with Women's U.S. Open champion and French amateur great Catherine Lacoste by first looking back on a 13-month stretch of a dozen match and stroke-play events where she did not lose. After winning the 1968 Women's Western Amateur, she reeled off victories the following year at the British Ladies Amateur, the Women's U.S. Amateur, the Spanish International Ladies Amateur and the French Amateur, becoming the only woman to ever hold these titles at the same time. After this remarkable run, Catherine was married, started a family and essentially "retired" from international competition at the age of 25. However, many more victories were to come in individual and team competitions including later play as a Senior. She was arguably France's finest amateur golfer. Outside the ropes, Catherine was a long-time Board member of the family fashion business Lacoste and served for many years as the President of the family's Chantaco Golf Club. Catherine Lacoste concludes her life story, "FORE the Good of the Game." Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.

In this second installment of our three-part interview with the great French amateur champion Catherine Lacoste, we delve into her many team and individual victories leading up to her historic triumph at the 1967 Women's U.S. Open at The Homestead while becoming the first and only amateur to have ever won this event. This unwelcome intrusion into the women's professional game by a foreign amateur was a bit unsettling at the time for most but not for Ms. Lacoste who celebrated her birthday week by prevailing over Susie Maxwell and Beth Stone by 2 shots, on her father's birthday. Sports Illustrated's Mark Mulvoy wrote at the time, it was "One of the biggest golf upsets since Ouiment unglued Ray and Vardon." Catherine recalls the pride she felt representing France in a number of international competitions including the Espirito Santo and the Vagliano Trophy. And her U.S. Open title was a harbinger of things to come as she went on an unprecedented winning binge soon after. Catherine Lacoste continues her life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."

Join Bruce and Mike as they explore the remarkable amateur golf career of the "Crocodile Kid", Catherine Lacoste. Born in Paris of sporting parents, her father was the great René Lacoste, winner of seven Grand Slam tennis titles, founder of the famous Lacoste fashion brand and inventor of the steel tennis racket. Catherine's mother Simone de la Chaume was an accomplished golfer in our own right and the first foreigner to win the British Girls and Ladies Amateur Championships. In this first of a three-part interview, we cover the formative years of Catherine and her game and hear her fondly recall growing up at the family's golf course, Golf de Chantaco and learning the game under the watchful eye of Jean Garaïalde's father Raymond. Jean gifted her the "Golden Goose" putter which she used her entire career.

In this closing episode with Ireland's finest golfer, Padraig Harrington, we look back on how he found joy in the game again and his involvement with the return of golf to the Olympic Games in 2016. Padraig recalls his start on the Senior Tour in 2021 and, later that year, captaining the European side in the COVID-delayed 2021 Ryder Cup. We wrap up with him reflecting on his legacy, the work of his foundation, representing the R&A as their "Working for Golf" Ambassador and the success of the putting course he donated to his community. Perhaps Padraig will best be remembered not for his 3 major championships or his place in the World Golf Hall of Fame, but for his wildly popular golf instructional video series, "Paddy's Tips", which has gained him notoriety throughout the world. Padraig Harrington's passion for the game and for living come through in this concluding chapter of his life story, "FORE the Good of the Game." Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.

6-time Ryder Cup player Padraig Harrington recalls the preparation required to position himself to contend and ultimately win major championships. Much of this episode is devoted to Padraig recounting his three major championships that came in quick succession beginning with the 2007 Open Championship at Carnoustie where he changed drivers after 36 holes and prevailed over Sergio Garcia in a 4-hole playoff. Padraig came into the 2008 Open Championship at Birkdale with a wrist injury and he didn't hit a full shot that week until the first round. It turned out to be a comfortable 4-stroke win over Ian Poulter. It was at the 2008 PGA Championship at Oakland Hills where he barely made the cut before firing rounds of 66-66 on the weekend to best Garcia and Ben Curtis by two shots.

Get ready for an engaging conversation with the winner of 37 professional events (so far) Padraig Harrington, a golfing great whose amateur record is as impressive as his professional career. We'll kick off this episode reminiscing about Padraig's early golf influences, particularly his admiration for Christy O'Connor Sr. and his 'perfect golf swing'. Listen in as he recounts his early amateur successes featuring three Walker Cups that included a win over the U.S. side at Royal Porthcawl in 1995. He remembers when it first dawned on him that he could play poorly and still score well, a learning that instilled confidence in him at a young age when he already possessed a brilliant short game. As we move forward, we'll explore Padraig's significant transition from amateur to pro. His impressive amateur success led to high expectations when he turned pro, but he had to face immense pressure playing in the qualification round of the European Championships. You'll hear about his unique style of play, which surprisingly, led to some overlooking him in the media. His first event on the pro tour in Kenya and his success in the PGA Championship in South Africa promise for some gripping tales. Wrapping up our conversation, we delve into the competitive golfing scene in Ireland during his junior years, and the benefits of playing in the country. Padraig shares fascinating stories of the great Irish players he grew up hearing about or playing alongside. From the legacy of the Ryder Cup in Ireland to the story of Fred Daly, J.B. Carr, and Jimmy Bruen, this episode is rich in Irish golf history. So, whether you're a golf enthusiast or just love a good story, don't miss out on this delightful journey as we continue with Padraig Harrington's life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."

Former Secretary of the R&A, Peter Dawson joins us to relate his life story that began in Aberdeen Scotland. Born to non-golfing parents, Peter found his way to golf at age 11, paying the princely sum of one pound sterling for his annual subscription at Lothianburn Golf Club.

Winner of 35 LPGA tournaments, Patty Sheehan looks back on the middle of her professional career that included an earthquake and heartbreak. Patty lost her home in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake in the San Francisco area but used that loss as incentive to come back strong, which she sure did in 1990, winning five times but suffering a meltdown at the U.S. Open that year, losing an 11-shot lead to Betsy King when she became hypoglycemic on a hot 36-hole final day in Atlanta. Redemption came two years later when she won the 1992 U.S. Open at Oakmont, where she birdied the final two holes to get into a playoff with her good friend Juli Inkster and prevailed in the 18-hole playoff after leaving her clubs at her rental home.

After reflecting on being the Q School medalist in 1986 with some fine players, Steve talks about winning his first meaningful check, teaming with Australian Jane Crafter to win the JC Penney Classic and then finding the winner's circle with his first PGA TOUR win at the 1988 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am back when Cypress Point was still in the rotation. He talks about his best year on tour, winning three times in 1989 including the Tournament of Champions, a week later at the Bob Hope and then prevailing at the Canadian Open.

Major Championship winner Jim Furyk begins his story with his recollections of growing up in Pennsylvania and developing his game under the watchful eye of his golf professional father. Encouraged to swing "naturally", Jim used his "distinctive" swing to good effect with a strong junior career and a solid collegiate record at the University of Arizona where he was a 2-time All-American and his team won the 1992 NCAA Division I title. He recounts the specific game plan he and his dad developed, after his junior year, to become a more consistent player and to position him for Tour competition. That paid off and helped Jim get through the 1993 Tour School (his second attempt) on the four and six-round cut numbers. Jim Furyk takes us through his formative years, "FORE the Good of the Game."
